More than
25 years ago, Gordon and Jeff tried to develop a
commercially viable, molded composite outer sole
for a running shoe using carbon fiber and fiberglass
composites.
The unique positioning of the continuous glass fibers
within the Polystrand™ material makes the very thin
profile of the FlexSpring™ composite insoles possible,”
said Gordon.
They fit comfortably in most athletic
shoes, including racing spikes, with the glass fiber
properties providing comfort and performance benefits
to the user.

Carbon fibers combined with vinyl ester or epoxy resin
create a composite material that, like all composites,
has higher performance properties than the individual
materials alone.
FIBER + RESIN = COMPOSITE
Carbon fiber
is formed by
bonding carbon
atoms together
to form a long
chain.

CARBON FIBER COMPOSITES
Thomas Edison used
carbon fiber as light bulb
filament in the late 1800s.
